Starting with a floor plan (part 1 of 4)
In order to make sure I worked on a realistic architectural draft, I imported in Autocad the image below, belonging to one of the most common layouts for a 3 bedroom house. Now, usually, with this kind of drawing, things are not going to be 100% precise, even with scaling and changing bits and bobs. Needless to say, I took some liberties. After I set up the scale and finished drawing over a transparent version of the image above I ended up with the images as seen below. And, finally, the end product, with the background image hidden in a separate layer.
